Granular Boric Acid 99.9+% Purity H3B03 (2 lbs.)

(2 lbs.) Granular Boric Acid 99.9+% Purity H3B03 Florida Laboratories Ant Control Around Beehives Boric acid works very well for ants if used in enclosed bait stations . Bait mix: 1 part boric acid, 3–4 parts sugar, add enough water to make a syrup paste. Deploy: Put mixture inside sealed bait stations (store-bought or homemade with small entry holes). Place along ant trails — not directly at hive entrances . Keep bait dry and shaded. Refresh every 1–2 weeks. Ants carry the bait back to the colony, eliminating the nest over several days. Yellow Jacket Control Yellow jackets (like those in the genus Vespula) are much more aggressive hive robbers than ants. Boric acid can work in protein bait , but placement is critical to avoid harming bees. Protein Bait Method (Best for Late Summer/Fall) Yellow jackets hunt protein (meat) to feed larvae. Mix: Small amount of boric acid (about 1–2% concentration) Canned tuna or cat food Deploy: Place bait in a covered container with small side holes. Position 50+ feet away from hives . Keep it out of bee flight paths. Replace every few days. Workers carry the poisoned protein back to the nest, gradually killing the colony. Use this product at your own risk.
